    - - "Digital redlining extends the discussion of discrimination into technologically mediated spaces. It perpetuates many of the historical inequities that Sean Illing and Keeanga Yamahttah-Taylor talk about while adding additional considerations like data use and algorithmic decision making practices which often have oppressive outcomes for marginalized folks. When we think about the utopic potential of digital spaces-- including the possibility of digital community-building and solidarity across race, gender, sexuality, and class lines--it's important to contextualize this potential. Do we truly believe in a digital ethics that protects the life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness or digital estate for all, or are we ok with replicating processes of predatory inclusion in digital spaces?"

      - "The minstrel show didn’t really give you an answer, but it provided a platform by which you could either escape from actually having to think about that question that really was tearing the nation apart, or depending on which show you would wind up seeing, it fully engaged you in the lightest possible way about enslaved people and how you didn’t really have to feel so bad for them, because they like being enslaved."

    - - “These numbers make the problem of malnutrition look insurmountable. But what works is no secret: vitamin A, iodized salt, and fortified foods. The lack of vitamin A alone results in blindness in a half-million children every year, with half of them dying within 12 months of losing their sight. Similarly, half of all women of childbearing age in developing countries suffer from weakened immune systems, owing to anemia caused by iron deficiency.”

      - In a major breakthrough in 2018, scientists discovered that by altering the expression of a gene that is found in all plants, they could make tobacco plants 25% more water efficient. Now they are testing this characteristic on food crops. That’s going to become particularly important given the expected increase in droughts.

      - “Crispr allows plant geneticists to systematically knock out genes one by one and study what happens to the plant without them. It’s not genetic engineering so much as reverse-engineering the instruction manual to each plant’s genetic code.”

  - - - “Experiments show that what the algorithm picks to show you can affect your emotions. But that's not all. It also affects political behavior. So in 2010, in the midterm elections, Facebook did an experiment on 61 million people in the US that was disclosed after the fact… So the pictures were the only change, and that post shown just once turned out an additional 340,000 voters in that election, according to this research as confirmed by the voter rolls. A fluke? No. Because in 2012, they repeated the same experiment. And that time, that civic message shown just once turned out an additional 270,000 voters. For reference, the 2016 US presidential election was decided by about 100,000 votes. Now, Facebook can also very easily infer what your politics are, even if you've never disclosed them on the site. Right? These algorithms can do that quite easily. What if a platform with that kind of power decides to turn out supporters of one candidate over the other? How would we even know about it?” (Tufekci 13:40).

      - Lots of mindless scrolling (quantity ≠ quality). Wastes a lot of time for something that should be quick and less involved (Instant message versus phone call)
        “So Facebook also algorithmically arranges the posts that your friends put on Facebook, or the pages you follow. It doesn't show you everything chronologically. It puts the order in the way that the algorithm thinks will entice you to stay on the site longer.” (Tufekci 12:43).

      - “What if the system that we do not understand was picking up that it's easier to sell Vegas tickets to people who are bipolar and about to enter the manic phase. Such people tend to become overspenders, compulsive gamblers. They could do this, and you'd have no clue that's what they were picking up on. I gave this example to a bunch of computer scientists once and afterwards, one of them came up to me. He was troubled and he said, "That's why I couldn't publish it." I was like, "Couldn't publish what?" He had tried to see whether you can indeed figure out the onset of mania from social media posts before clinical symptoms, and it had worked, and it had worked very well, and he had no idea how it worked or what it was picking up on. ” (Tufekci 7:00).

      - “None of Google's services are free, although they look like it. Google scans the free version of Gmail for keywords which are then used for targeted ads. Google tracks what you watch on YouTube, then shows you pre-roll ads that might be relevant. So it goes for all of Google's "free" services — you pay with your attention to ads.”

    - - “The same technologies used to create gene-edited foods could be used for other potentially damaging uses. Although gene editing can be used positively in health care – for example, to develop new cancer and blood disease treatments – it raises difficult ethical questions such as whether there will be limitations to the conditions that gene editing is used to treat and fears over creating designer babies. There are also ethical questions about the way the scientific research supporting the use of CRISPR in these areas is carried out, and on the role of the scientist carrying out the gene editing, and their liability in the case of an accident.”

      - “David Just, co-director of Cornell’s Food and Brand Lab, said CRISPR-edited food will face the problem of a skeptical, nervous public because people don't understand how the technology works. They're afraid of whether modified food is truly safe to eat -- despite the overwhelming majority of existing research on the topic finding that to be the case. (According to a Pew survey from earlier this year, 88 percent of scientists said genetically modified foods were safe to eat, but only 37 percent of the public agreed.)...” “How Gene-Editing Can Curb World Hunger and Pesticide Use.” BIO, 10 Dec. 2015, https://www.bio.org/blogs/how-gene-editing-can-curb-world-hunger-and-pesticide-use.
